Step 2 · Prepare the Hedges and Surrounding Area

Remove any fallen leaves, branches, or garden debris from the base and within the hedge to prevent them from interfering with the trimming process and to ensure a clean cut. Clear a safe working space around the hedge, removing any tripping hazards like hoses, tools, or garden ornaments. Inspect the hedge for any obstructions such as wires, fences, or irrigation heads that could damage the trimmers or cause injury.
